Ni Sitian's chest heaved with anger. Now, the adulterer was protecting his lover, and even if she was in the right, she would be rendered unreasonable.
Ji Xiaoyun added fuel to the fire, sobbing softly, "Editor-in-Chief, it wasn't...it wasn't Sitian who made it..."
"Xiaoyun, why are you still protecting her?" Colleague A helped Ji Xiaoyun up and said earnestly, "Look at what she did to you. The editor-in-chief has seen it all. Why are you protecting her? Kindness is often taken advantage of."
Ni Sitian gritted her teeth, stared at Ji Xiaoyun, and laughed angrily: "With such good acting skills, it's a waste of your talent to come to this magazine instead of going to Beijing Film Academy or Central Academy of Drama. You have the guts to look everyone in the eye and tell them that I hit you!"
These words sounded like a threat to others, and Ni Sitian immediately incurred public wrath.
Ji Xiaoyun hunched her shoulders and trembled slightly, making it seem like it was all Ni Sitian's fault.
When Editor-in-Chief Ma saw that Ni Sitian still dared to be so stubborn even after he intervened, he angrily pointed his finger at Ni Sitian's nose and said, "You hit someone and you still don't know how to repent! This is a magazine office, and we won't tolerate your arrogance here!"
Ni Sitian was furious when she saw that they were all looking at her with such accusatory eyes, and she felt like she had been wronged!
At this moment, Xiao Ya stepped forward and said to Editor-in-Chief Ma, "I believe Si Tian wouldn't do that, she..."
"Xiao, you don't need to protect her anymore!" Editor-in-Chief Ma angrily interrupted Xiao Ya, and shouted at Ni Sitian, "You apologize to Ji Xiaoyun right now!"
Ni Sitian was so angry she laughed. The whole thing was so inexplicable, and then she was suddenly accused of assault?
"If you don't apologize, you're fired today!" Editor-in-Chief Ma knew that Ni Sitian and Qin Mubei were acquainted, but he heard that Qin Mubei was getting engaged recently, so he felt that Ni Sitian had no influence on Qin Mubei. His original idea of getting to know Qin Mubei through her had faded.
Now that she's no longer of any use to him, he finds Ni Sitian utterly unpleasant to look at. Plus, she hit his precious darling, so he's determined to get revenge. Even after apologizing, he'll still kick her out!
"Apologize? I won't apologize for something I didn't do." Ni Sitian bit her lip, her anger turning into a calm as she walked closer to Ji Xiaoyun and slapped her hard across the face with lightning speed.
With a crisp and loud snap, it cracked.
Everyone was stunned; no one expected Ni Sitian to make a move in front of so many people.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Ni Sitian hadn't expected to hit so hard; her palms were numb from the blows, so you can imagine how much pain Ji Xiaoyun must have felt.
Ji Xiaoyun covered the side of her face that had been slapped, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Someone exclaimed, "Wow, so much blood!"
Everyone snapped out of their daze and looked at Ji Xiaoyun.
Ni Sitian clenched her numb hands, looked at Ji Xiaoyun's swollen cheeks, and sneered: "Didn't you want me to apologize? Then I'll confirm that I hit you first. Now I can apologize. Ji Xiaoyun, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit you, and I shouldn't have caught you having an affair with Editor-in-Chief Ma!"
Her words were deliberate and powerful, especially the last sentence, which left everyone stunned.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Editor-in-Chief Ma, feeling guilty, turned red with anger and was about to hit Ni Sitian.
Xiao Ya quickly stepped in front of Ni Sitian, taking the slap for her.
Ni Sitian was startled and quickly helped Xiao Ya up.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoyun suddenly swayed and fainted!
